Wow that sheriff is some piece of work


She pretty much told Dylan "your brother's killed people so i don't care if Romero kills him after kidnapping him from my precinct". Talk about a sorry fucking police station. Norman was her responsibility as her prisoner, yet shes fine with Romero killing him dead.

I get he's killed people but he's obviously sick and not in his right mind, its not like he gets pleasure from it he can't control it, he's still just a kid basically.

Yes she was a terrible officer of the law. More like a vigilante attitude and did not care about the law or her duty.

Exactly, she was like "i wanna get Regina alive but to hell with your brother he's a murderer he deserves to die".

She reminded me too much of the female sheriff from the first season of Fargo.

Meh, I completely understand where she was coming from. Yeah, Norman's not right in the head. We know that after five years of watching him. She only had a few conversations and his history to go on. And she's a cop, not a psychiatrist. She was operating within her field. She's not going to be overly concerned about the mental health of someone she knows to be a serial killer (even if he's not convicted yet), especially over someone like Regina, who appears to be her friend, or at the very least a warmly-regarded coworker. Regina was the only one of the three who wasn't a killer or an escapee, and asked for it the least. Not the most compassionate reaction in regards to Norman, but definitely an understandable one.

what I would like to know is why were there NO cops staking out the Bates home? It was very silly.

reply

Agreed. Norman goes missing and suddenly the hotel is back up running again and nobody bats an eye?
